Frank Oldaker, a 57-year-old White man, was fatally shot on April 17, 2014, inside the Lesage home he shared with longtime girlfriend Angela Kay Chapman. The residence was in the 6000 block of Big Seven Mile Road in Cabell County. Family members say Oldaker was found dead on a couch in the television room; his sister described him as having been asleep on the couch when the shooting occurred.

Investigators quickly focused on Chapman. Deputies arrested her and prosecutors charged her with first-degree murder. The case moved slowly through Cabell County Circuit Court; Chapman spent time both in jail and on home confinement. In mid-2015 the residence where Chapman and her mother were staying was struck by a series of apparent arson attacks investigators linked to the Oldaker shooting, though no suspects in those fires had been identified then.

On December 28, 2015, Chapman entered a Kennedy plea to voluntary manslaughter, and on March 8, 2016, the court imposed the maximum 15-year sentence, with credit for time actually spent in custody but not for home confinement. If anyone knew Frank Oldaker or has information about the shooting or the related fires, please share what is known.
